About this property

Best view on the beach with DIRECT Gulf views - 1004C - Totally Renovated



Our 10th floor, gulf-front condominium (Building C) – with spectacular water views from every window - is situated on a white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The waves are gentle, and the gulf-floor slopes gently to an offshore sand bar which provides seven miles of protected beaches. Because of this, Fort Myers Beach is often called 'The World's Safest Beach'. Our children, and now our grandchildren, have spent countless hours sitting on the sandbar during low tide digging for sand dollars and starfish. Daily, we spot dolphins playing in the waters in front of our balcony.

Our condo is fully renovated! We have a spacious, walk-in shower and a new kitchen. We added 7 feet of new California Closets in the bedroom, including a built-in dresser, and replaced the bathroom closet with a new California Closet. We replaced all the flooring with beautiful Italian porcelain tile and have new window treatments. In 2019 and 2020 we replaced all the furniture. The bedroom, which is separated from the living area by a folding partition, has a king-size bed with a luxury mattress (new in 2022). The living room has a sleep sofa (queen-bed size) with an upgraded gel memory foam mattress, 55” ultra-high-definition smart TV, and DVD/CD player. Our kitchen is well equipped and stocked. The spectacular view from our balcony faces the Gulf of Mexico and Sanibel Island, and because it faces west, it’s the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun set. Don't be fooled by other ads that say they have a Gulf view. Ours is a direct-facing view; no craning your neck around buildings to catch a glimpse of the Gulf - take a look at our photos to see our spectacular view.

There’s an on-site heated swimming pool; four tennis courts, including 2 that can be used for pickle ball; and a shared, coin-op laundry room. There are several marinas in Fort Myers Beach, including one directly across from the Estero Beach and Tennis Club. There is a wide variety of restaurants and shops in Fort Myers Beach, which are easily accessible by public trolley, which runs the length of the seven-mile long island.

The Estero Beach and Tennis Club is situated on ten lush acres along the Gulf of Mexico. The estuary in front of our balcony is listed in the top 200 bird-watching spots in the United States and is the only estuary in the US with a flock of Roseate Spoonbills arriving daily at dawn and dusk.

We are conveniently located approximately 25 miles/35-40 minutes from Regional Southwest Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers. In addition to enjoying all that Fort Myers Beach has to offer, you are within 30-40 minutes of beautiful Naples and Sanibel/Captiva Islands. You will never run out of things to do in Fort Myers Beach!.

Send us an email or call (301-351-7245) and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Paradise

As you walk into the beautifully remodeled condo, you look directly out onto the white sands of the gulf!We also enjoyed the community pool. The condo was well stocked with equipment for the beach. Although the area is still recovering from Hurricane Ian,many great restaurants are open. We enjoyed breakfast and wine in the evening on the balcony watching pelicans.Communication with Carole was superb. We hope to come back next year!

Not Central Air conditioning

The view of the beach is fantastic from the balcony. The condo is nicely redone. We enjoyed our stay however we were not aware there was not central air. It had a unit like you would have in a hotel room. We could not use the partition for privacy in the bedroom because it would block any air flow from the unit air conditioner. Lucky the weather was cool.One day the elevator got stuck and the police needed to come to help people get free.We made the best of it and still had a good time getting away from the cold.

Great get away place.

This condo was a perfect place for a relaxing get away. The owners were wonderful to work with and we got prompt responses with questions we had. The place was newly finished & was tastefully decorated. Had all the “extras” you might need & additional info was supplied that helped navigate the area. A short walk to beach and a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. Must check it out!!

Best place to stay on Fort Meyers!

My mom and I had the best time at Carole’s condo! It was fully stocked with everything we could have ever needed and it was very close to the nearby restaurants that were recommended for us to try in her welcome book. I highly highly recommend Carole’s condo to anyone looking to stay in Fort Meyers!

Perfect little slice of heaven!

This is a perfect condo for a small family! We had everything we needed, including the amazing view. Due to ongoing construction on surrounding properties, we practically had the beach to ourselves most days. Description was spot on with the sandbar, it really was a great spot for our two daughters to safely play. The location in south FMB was fantastic for a quick trip to Bonita Springs or Naples. Communication with Carole was great, too! We left with a heavy heart and a bag full of shells. Can't wait to come back!

This is our second year staying at this property. The location, beach, and view just can’t be beat. Also, the owner is incredible to work with. We had an extended stay at the condo this time for 3 weeks, and Carole took the time to put together a list of some amazing things to do in the area she thought we may enjoy. We absolutely loved our stay - the property is truly perfect for two!
